I grew up around Chicken and Dumplings. My grandma is southern and makes it all the time. I have her recipe and through the years have given it a couple tries myself. I have always liked it. I stumbled on this recipe and gave it a try. I LOVED this one soooo much more. No offense to dear grandma but this soup is delicious. My family begs me to make it and although it does take some time the outcome is rewarding. The thing i like the most is actually using chicken in the dumplings. It is not only delicious but very filling. 5 stars! if i could give it more stars i would!

Absolute best chicken dumpling soup recipe ever! Bursting with flavor, though i did change it a bit: For the dumplings, i used whole wheat flour and only 1 cup of turkey. (It was a dumpling and turkey soup because that's what I had, but it tasted phenomenal!) They were fantastic, though i would recommend cooking them for at least 10-15 minutes. As for the soup, I followed what it said, but didn't use onions or celery and sauteed minced garlic in about 1 Tbsp. butter, I also used peas and carrots, and added 2 bay leaves, about 2-4 tsp. parsley and 1/2-1 tsp. tarragon. All-in-all....AMAZING and will be making often!

I thought this was a great recipe. I used a rotisserie chicken from the grocery to save time...I would recommend to reduce the salt if you do this. Otherwise really good and hit the spot on a cold winter night!

when my mom was cooking it,it smelled good.when i tasted it was pretty good.i didnt really like the dumplings.[my mom added peas and subtracted a little flower]. zack
Mom: I cooked the chicken, carrots, celery, and some quinoa in the crock pot while at work. It was easy to make the dumplings, boil stock and throw it together. I liked it; will make it again, might go more Italian like a wedding soup

I didnt use the flour in the broth as not sure how it would taste and wanted a more healty alternative. the dumplings were wonderful. I saved a ton of money buying a whole chicken and making my own broth. I also added parsnips love it. I love this web site!!!

I omitted the chx in the dumplings, and halved the chicken in the pot. I added a chopped potato and substituted cinnamon for the tarragon. Also, I ended up desiring a thicker, creamier soup, so i mixed a few Tb flour with a cup of milk and stirred that in towards the end. Delicious outcome and fabulous recipe.

I agree the dumplings were a bit too mushy. I added a little flour. I made a few other changes, simply because we like our carbs. I added more broth and bowtie pasta. Overall, this was a fantastic recipe. We loved it and will definitely make it again.
